Thank you, thank you, thank you... this beautifully crafted, arousing, heartbreaking story has had me tearing up all morning with longing and a more clear peak into the dynamics I ache for. Please. More.
Just great. Well written, characters well built, not rushed. Congratulations you're a very good writer.
Real insights into the lifestyle for those of us on the outside. I hope it is a fulfilling life. Please write more.
So very vivid and real. You were so thorough I felt as though I knew them both by the end.
Thank you so much for sharing this.

You are a great writer and this is definitely the best story I've ever read on Lit. You do an amazing job with plot and character development which makes for a truly beautiful read. Thank you so much!
I loved it... a wonderful story. I loved how you made it sensual and emotional with believable characters. I was sad for it to end. Great writing!
I was hooked on page 1 all the wayto the end.
Thank you for showing the mental trust and work that goes
Into a relationship like this.
Mesmerizing story line
I was sucked in from the first page to the last. There were moments I thought I could actually feel Oliver’s hands on me and I shudder at the memory. You have opened a door and sucked me into that delicious darkness. Thank you for that
Very well done. I'd be absolutely shocked if this had actually been written by a man in the guise of a female pseudonym. The perspective is truly one of a female submissive. I especially like the focus on inner conflict. This is a character story. Its plot flows organically from character concerns and decisions.
You're fucking good.
I really enjoyed your short story. I think it is the best or certainly one of the best I have read on this site, and perhaps ever in erotic shorts. Your skill and insight is amazing. Thank you for your effort in crafting such a tale. Also, I appreciate your foreword and the intention you had in writing it. Of all the stories, this one seemed closer to a guide to what could happen. The most extreme, unlikely part is having sex at work, and lots of people have sex at work, though perhaps not that much. I am delighted to have spent the last few hours reading your work.
I am in tears. Truly a masterpiece.
Thank you, read all at once and was transfixed. Amazing story. :-)
Overall one of the best stories I’ve ever written. I enjoyed it thoroughly. One thing I didn’t really understand was that she is a masochist and he seems to imply he’s a sadist and yet there wasn’t really anything done about that. I’m just wondering why it was brought to the reader’s attention even though there wasn’t anything in the story with it.
A wonderful story. Thank you very much for sharing it with us, the readers. There are three aspects to the story that I think make it extraordinary. One, as other people have noted, is the characterization. Leah, especially, is well-drawn. She is a real, functioning person who can live and succeed without him. She is no Story of O blowup doll. The second is Oliver’s care for her. He makes it clear that for him to enjoy playing with her, she has to enjoy it as well. That’s a subtlety often lost in depictions of D/S relationships, but a crucial one. Otherwise the D-type comes across as a monster. A third related point- they are both successful, functional people. There is none of the “two damaged people fixing each other” trope, thank goodness!
What an amazing story of self discovery. Very well written, very real, raw, kinky, and beautiful. An excellent Dom/sub relationship.
My body and my soul experienced your exquisite prose. With deep appreciation...
I loved this story so much. This told us about the BDSM community, and that it was okay to embrace our inner desires. I really liked the fact that neither of them had a 'dark past' and that they were able to understand each other's bodies so well. I liked the fact that this dealt with true BDSM, and not the sadistic-maschostic one. Loved it. Amazingly well written.
You have outdone yourself! Once again, I’ve learned so much. Thank you for that.
this is an amazing story, not only is it hot and arousing, it is also a really great insight into an intimate community. And, it is written really good. Honestly, with a little bit of work and extending the story some, this could easily be published. There are a lot far worse erotica on the market, that people pay for!
this was so beautiful. i was really sad for them to get separated but I loved the details !
This story made me feel so very unsettled. I feel so sad and happy for Leah. I firmly believe that a guy will do anything for the girl he loves, and I feel bad that Leah is not "her" for Oliver. That made me feel so very sad. It just feels as if he used her to itch an ache, and no matter how much he did for her, it doesn't seem enough and it doesn't seem right. He just took advantage of her feeling towards her.
Anyway, I loved the story. It was great. I loved it, and I love you. I just can't stop thinking how this is making me feel.
You are an amazing writer! Best I have read. Never stop writing erotica. Please, please?
This was such an amazing read. I loved the dynamic between Dr. James and Leah, and the fact you told this through her perspective. Leah’s awakening and acceptance of herself and her desires hit deeply home for me.
I loved the fact you wrote this as a short term relationship. All relationships have an end point, but they are no less perfect and no less what is needed for the time they last.
Drew you in and kept you attention throughout. Although a temporary affair you always felt anf hoped that something more would come of it. Conclusion both disappointing yet hopeful, as though you've left it so another chapter could be written as she explores her submissive Ness with others until she finds her ultimate partner for life, and who knows it could be Oliver.
I did read this when I was starting my D/s journey and re-reading it now, there are so many things I understand better. Trusting my emotions more and my gut feelings adds depth. The value of a relationship is not defined by the amount of time spent together. Some 20 years married people are still strangers to each other and will never help each other grow as humans. There is only here and now, there is only respect and trust and honesty. I love how realistic this story is: Time constraints and work place getting in the way. From my point of view their relationship was a blessing for both of them, no one gained more than the other. I wish both those fictional characters a happy life. In real life, thanks to all those who are taking their time to show us the way, with compassion.
One thing I especially liked is talking about the intelligence of the submissive that I don't see in other stories. Including that is important for showing how it affects the interaction and behaviors. Finally the doctor's background story was a bit of a mystery and I found myself a little sad and disappointed that I did not learn more about him to help understand his character and why he does what he does. Thanks this was a great story.
Simply awesome!!! It left me with a lot of questions, not the least of which is “why does this turn me on so much?”. But I suppose all those questions result from the awesomeness of the writing and writer!!!
What a beautiful story. The end was so emotional. I believe certain things come into your life when they are supposed to and I believe I was meant to read this story now. I’m just taking the first baby steps into this world and it’s scary. I’ve never read a story with a dominant like this before and I love how calm and gentle he was as well as the control over himself he possessed. Thank you for sharing this story that didn’t involve any violent punishment or degradation. Thank you for making Leah intelligent and capable and mature. This story gives me hope.
